I don't see it as quite over the same line. There's something about the snark in the comment I replied to which is a degree worse. The GP was baity but I don't see it as snarky. But I suppose it's close enough that different people could reasonably make a different call.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
It’s a good attitude to have unless you feel bad about yourself and it becomes a problem (like a crushing self defeating impostor sindrome), being modest helps keeping the ego in check. You can self compete and aspire to whatever minds you keep in high regard and it’s likely you’re on the right path. Just keep at it
When used in a client/server context where the server has a public IP address, webrtc can be deployed entirely without STUN/TURN. The mechanism is peer reflexive candidates, wherein the server learns the address and port of the client based on the IP packet of the incoming ICE negotiation request. I have used this approach on production systems.

For peer to peer, you'd have a tough time avoiding STUN/TURN anyhow.
A big part of the safety concerns were about the lipid layer outside the mRNA triggering autoimmune reaction, which doesn't need to change, so changing only the mRNA data should be relatively safe.
I do find it interesting because conversely in a car I absolutely do prefer an OEM integrated infotainment system as opposed to after market.

Other things being equal, I would agree. But the auto industry has such a bad record of being irresponsible about security and safety issues, and those who supposedly regulate the industry have so often failed to deal with real and potentially dangerous problems, that I have become wary of anything to do with "connected" vehicles and anything that integrates the essential engineering around vehicle control with non-essential systems of any kind. Sadly, modern car electronics are not only designed but in some cases even legally required to blur that line, and given all the other improvements over older vehicles, it seems inevitable that I will soon have to ride in vehicles I literally don't want to trust with my life.

I have gone out of my way to avoid "smart" TVs and similar devices in my home and office, but I fear the options for alternatives there will also become limited unless and until some form of effective regulation makes the spy-on-your-customers business model toxic.
Here is what I liked about Tesla chargers:
1. The short cable is good as it keeps careless people from entangling and making a cable mess.
2. Compared to the chademo plug, the Tesla plug is light and small and is less likely to get damaged if dropped accidentally.
3. When you press the button on the plug, the car charging port opens automatically. Also the charging port closes automatically when unplugged.
4. If port is broken, most Tesla owners have the etiquette to signal this to the next user by keeping the plug out. What would be better is to show this status like a light (visibly from 20ft at night).
5. They show chargers right in the car display map and tell you how many are free to use no need for another app.

These are all nice small touches. The biggest mess the EV folks have made is having 5 different types of poorly designed chargers and plugs and current capacity. Having one type of plug and making them all fast will go a long way to better EV adoption. The oil companies have done much better and this is a shame.
A good perspective, I appreciate it. Also as a sidenote, just because I don't want to give the impression of any hubris, I always immediately dismiss it directly, and it's also not "constantly," (will edit where I used that word) as if I somehow get enjoyment out of it. I hear it enough though, for it to be noticeable (objectively).
It's possible though, the volume today is 90M, that's actually more than their position.

Which means tomorrow the stock could crash.
I'm guessing that was from the T-Shirt sales?

Thats pretty cool - Having a good meals on wheels program can really help the elderly in a rural state like Vermont, especially during Covid.
These comments are groundless libel. Why your rules would protect them is beyond any explanation. I have never once been the person shoveling BS on this forum. But you treat your posters like a bunch of thin-skinned babies. Some deep self-reflection would do these passive-aggressive egomanics some good. I've been around the engineering community long enough to know how these self-important trolls work. You should know it by now as well Dang. I frankly don't know what you are trying to save them from except maybe you pity them.
I wonder if covid has made people view online communities as the public space. In prior years treating an online community as your sole social outlet wouldn't be viewed as healthy. Now it's almost the defacto.
Dunno what search backend you’re using, but if it’s ElasticSearch this can be done pretty quickly with a Gaussian decay filter. That takes in lat/lng directly, and adjusts the ordering of results.

That’d also give the nifty feature of finding the closest available vaccine, even if it’s a hundred miles away (not a walk in the park, but I’d drive that far personally)
This is more or less the nugget.

What makes a teenager year old seek out pot/ alcohol/ whatever.

If a study about long term drug use doesn't address why people started smoking/ doing drugs, then a critical piece of the puzzle is missing.
I've always thought it's people (or algorithms) buying the stock in advance in the hopes that they'll profit from other people making a mistake and buying the stock. Sort of like typosquatting.
From [0] and [1] I don't think chaining shorts, as described in the parent comment, is possible. Alice cedes control over the shares in return of a fee. Therefore, when Bob borrows 100 shares from Alice and sells them to Chuck, there are still only 100 on the market, not 200.

> When a security is sold, the seller is contractually obliged to deliver it to the buyer. If a seller sells a security short without owning it first, the seller must borrow the security from a third party to fulfill its obligation.

To actually answer your question, is worth noting that Bob has to provide a collateral to Alice at 100% + some margin (from wiki) the value of the borrowed stock. So, in short (ha!), Alice sells Bob a bunch of shares with the idea that they will revert the transaction at a later date.

As a US-ian who is surface level familiar with some non-US education, here in the US "college" and "university" tend to refer to the same thing, which is post-highschool education. Essentially, any higher-education that you aren't required to take, and likewise, have to pay for.

(Edit: for fellow US-ians, I'm vaguely aware that in some non-US places, "college" refers to something we'd either call highschool or in-between highschool and college)

College is (generally) divided into two categories, undergraduate, and graduate education. Undergrad constitutes broad and shallow education with an emphasis on a particular subject. Graduate education is much more in-depth and more selective of potential students.

I believe it's technically possibly to skip the undergrad phase and skip to getting a master's or doctorate degree, but almost never happens in practice. The hierarchy, both for higher education and the job market, expects you to have all of your "lower level" degrees, in spite of your actual abilities.

Even if you drop out of highschool and have a college degree, some jobs will still require you to get a highschool diploma substitute.
Ask HN: How do you work with a person who thinks they know more than they do?
It can become very hard to converge with such a person. They may argue too much for ideas that are not that good. They may not understand the alternatives too well. Their scope of knowledge may be limited.

Trying to converge "politely" can take way too long. And even so, they may end up accepting the alternatives grudgingly.

Just in case I sound condescending - I realize that in some contexts I myself may be this person.

How do you folks handle this?

Essentially there was a hedge fund who was heavily short in GameStop stock to the tunes of many millions. Once the subreddit community of WallStreetBets started applying buy pressure it made the shorts either add more/cover; or have to sell and when they do it adds buy pressure to the book. Led to a big gamma squeeze and this fund got caught off guard with poor risk management and the stock surged so much letting the small joe win for once in a game of smoke screen tactics by larger funds
I'm cautiously optimistic. Apple may have grown a spine, but it's still Apple, it's still the company that treats customers like gnats when they complain. It's still the company that enables child labor, and inhumane working conditions, but perhaps some progress is better than none? It's a tough call.
I’m hesitant to reveal how as the FDA had been cracking down recently, but racetams are very popular in the nootropics community. It’s sad too because there’s a huge difference between her with this medicine and without.

A few times we’ve missed a day and it’s not a fun experience. Something as innocuous as a diaper change can mean giving her getting upset, turning blue, pulling out the a bag and mask, and giving her oxygen and hoping she’ll come to. Then she’ll sleep for hours. If it’s especially bad, like it was before, she’ll forget words which is super scary.

This is a VERY important topic of research that many users aren't aware of. Legalize for more research and better harnessing of this drug.

Many strains of Cannabis inhibit REM sleep.

Some do not, for some physiologies.

Blue Dream does not block my REM.

Interestingly, a small amount (2 shots or less) of alcohol will accelerate REM.
This really rings true to me. I've consumed cannabis over the past decade varying degrees of regularly, typically in cycles of a few months of daily usage followed by a few months of very infrequent usage.

I've found when I am in a daily usage phase, I am overall more lethargic, less motivated at work, less motivated at fitness, and less motivated to go on dates. These problems don't entirely clear up when I am outside of a daily usage phase, but progress made in those areas tends to erode. This doesn't dramatically affect my life, I am certainly functional and overall productive at work and in my social life, but at the same time the findings make sense to me.
I agree with this post. Although the narrative being spun on WallStreetBets and co wants you to believe in a short squeeze, it doesn't seem like any shorts were actually squeezed. This morning, Melvin Capital and Citron successfully exited their positions in Gamestop. Had there been a true squeeze, the whole point would have been to prevent an easy exit and force them to cause the price to balloon out of control. By exiting, they've proven that although shorts were obviously hurt a lot, the fabled squeeze never came. And to analyze it technically, I know a lot of people are repeating the line about GME shorts being xxx% of the float, where xxx > 100. It's cute, but for a stock with such crazy volume as in the past few days, the shorts being above the float doesn't really matter.

Matt Levine seemed to have agreed with this take on Monday: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-01-25/the-ga...

And full disclosure, I made a lot of money via GME these past 2 weeks. I'm just not a believer in what's currently being pushed as the truth on social media. To me, GME seems to be a classic case of Tulipmania hiding behind a "short squeeze" mask. It's the latest Bitcoin and no one wants to miss out.
The problem, and the reason they’re out, is because of the FDA. While I agree in principal I wish I didn’t have to search websites for piracetam that are all out of stock due to customs not letting them through.
The relative sizes depend on the relative distance from the camera. Say you have two persons, one standing one meter in front of the other, and the photographer standing one meter in front of the frontmost person, shooting with a wide-angle lens so that the nearest person fills the frame. The far person is then twice as far away as the near person (2m vs. 1m), and will appear half the size of the near person (assuming they're the same size in reality!). The photographer then moves 50 meters away, and shoots with a (really!) long telephoto lens, so that the nearest person still fills the frame. The near person is now 50 meters away and the far person is 51 meters away, and will appear 50/51 of the near persons's size.

(This would still happen if the photographer kept the wide-angle lens, but then a lot more of the surroundings would have been included in the frame, making it obvious that the persons were far away. Whether tele/wide-angle "affects perspective" is a favourite topic of endless debate on photo-related Internet forums. The answer hinges on which parameters you maintain constant, and which ones you allow to vary.)
GPL does not necessarily ensure that those improved versions are accessible to the original project, people receiving the source code to improved versions could simply keep those versions secret. See the controversy around grsecurity for an example of this, although one old version of their code did get leaked.
Some guy makes 50mm (mostly unrealized at this point). Where do you think the rest of the 14 billion is owed? Probably institutional investors and HFT guys that have been playing market volitility, as they do.

There's a couple guys that are fucked, but most of that money is going back into the pockets of 'the big bad fund managers'

Same with Tesla, I don't think the institutions that profited handsomely in that run up think it's worth the price, but they think that the real gains are good for their funds.

Also note, retail guys are still probably pretty close to the one percent. Who else has 50k lying around for something like this. Sure he might not be a hedge fund, but he's probably not working a minimum wage job and fixing inequality with his trades.

"The study examined people who began regular cannabis use in high school or in their early 20s"

I think this study should be taken with a grain of salt because of that statement right there. High school and even early twenties, we are still developing, and not everyone is going to develop to full adulthood by their early 20s. Anything that influences brain chemistry at that young age - be it drugs, hormones, etc. - is going to have lasting effect. I hope this leads to more studies about people who started later in life, say 30.
Nope. Linus spend years developing the software in his head before writing anything. Writing software is thinking not typing.
I concur. It seems obvious to me that at the very least, pouring copious amounts of hot smoke into your mouth/lungs on a regular basis is not good for your long term health. It's humorous to me that so many of the 'pro-science' crowd become strong skeptics when it seems the facts might reflect poorly on thing they care about.
H-1B stats disagree.
I'm not saying "go sign up with Revature" but I am saying that a whole lot of folks go to college and end up with a crap ton of debt which they end up working for years to pay off.

AND...a large chunk of those folks walk away with unmarketable skills.

AND...you can't declare bankruptcy to get out from under student loans.

...which IMO sounds kinda worse than indentured servitude in that, while you do still have to pay, the mechanism for payment is neither provided in the construct nor is it made possible by the training received.
Well from my understanding a lot of the reason some of the “good, fun, safe” drugs were criminalized in the first place had to do with targeting specific groups. I don’t think there are any large enough groups crazy enough to use datura regularly the government would want to target lol.

> They definitely referred to themselves as autists/retards in a self-deprecating manner but that's hardly the same thing.

I fail to see how 'autist' is any less of a slur than e.g. 'trap' or 'gay', when used in the right (wrong) context.

It's not a racial slur, but it's quite certainly a slur.
> But are these life-endings [of a young person and an old person] equivalent? Perhaps, on a philosophical level, they are. On a practical level, however, the death of an 85-year-old person from a preventable cause has cost them a few years at the end of life, while a 25-year-old has, on the same calculation, lost over 60 years of life, including their most active and event-filled years.

Every time I think about the USA, I get a strong feeling that the current structure of systems are designed for the old to flourish and at a heavy cost of the young. I would be surprised if my feeling is actually wrong and everything isn't actually designed for the older population to continue flourishing the longest at the cost of the young. I'm curious what HN thinks. I personally think the value of the young should be set higher to flourish than the old and the systems of society should be designed that way.
Why does everybody assume there is not some hedge fund behind this short squeeze?

Do hedge funds not know how to do social media marketing?

Why go on CNBC to announce your position when you can pay some kids and influencers to shitpost on wsb to rile up an online mob and leave no fingerprints?

It is crazy to me how ppl continually fall for this stuff? How does any mass online movement not trigger skepticism? I mean look at the history of this stuff from Kony 2012 to the Arab spring to Russian troll farms.

I do however think that this is a significant new front in the battles between Wall Street behemoths. Market manipulation by stirring up online mobs of mooks. If this one is organic, the next won’t be.
this is probably the exact mentality that got the funds in this position. they have more patience than you think when it comes to making money (which is the end goal), and the other pumping is getting rooted out as shills or distractions.
The censorship behaviour highlights that BTC appears to be the only remaining asset class without centralised institutional control.
Discord would claim its “hateful and discriminatory content” for anything in the fucked up reality we are currently living in. For instance, if you call someone retarded and a mod doesn't step in, that is considered hateful. Even though retard is in the dictionary and a widely accepted term by many people. Then saying that only retards buy the shit hedgefunds are peddling would also be considered discriminatory. I'm tired of this fucking bullshit and ready to go thru as many proxy accounts as needed to get my point across. Discord needs to go out of business or grow some balls. Everything in this world could be construed into being hateful or discriminatory if you stretch enough.

I don't think that's what he's saying.

I think he's saying it's not manipulation, but simply a bet. If I buy GameStop at $100 believing I can sell it for $120 tomorrow, I am buying that stock honestly believing in its current value so I'm not sure you can call it manipulation any more than another investor hoping to cash in on an expectation that a stock will appreciate.

How do you decide whether or not something is manipulation? Everybody invests in stocks expecting them to go up - at what point is it nefarious?

The biggest problem with intermediate level programmers is their love of hard and fast rules. It's like they have a backpack full of hammers ("best practices") and they're running around hammering everything in sight. For this I feel like it doesn't really matter how much experience you have in an individual piece of tech - the overall amount matters more.

> The end game will have to be some kind of forced infrastructure sharing agreements.

So Tesla spend billions of their own money building out infrastructure when the competition was literally laughing at them... and now that it's paid off and EVs are starting to go mainstream we should force them to share that infra with everyone else?

That's a giant bullshit sandwich right there.
